Phung Doubles Thru Browne

Level 31 : Blinds 100,000/250,000, 250,000 ante
Helmut Phung
Helmut Phung

Paul Browne raised to 500,000 from the hijack with {a-Spades}{6-Spades} as action folded around to Helmut Phung in the big blind. He used some of his time bank cards before he shoved all in for 1,885,000 with {a-Hearts}{8-Hearts}.

Browne now used his own time banks before he called, only to find he was dominated. Both players hit top pair on the {3-Spades}{a-Clubs}{4-Diamonds} flop, while Phung ended up with two pair as the board ran out {k-Diamonds}{8-Clubs} to double up.
